With its slim, frosted glass bottle and clean, crisp nose, this French addition to the vodka family is a sophisticated drop best enjoyed neat on ice with a squeeze of lemon or lime.	Made by the same people who specialize in caviar, the bottle features the same packaging. Tip it upside down and watch little fake fish eggs bob about in the insert. Who needs a snow dome?	This is the vodka du jour on cocktail lists all over Sydney. Hailed for its smooth mellow flavour and the fact that it has been quadrupally distilled, it does well in Moscow Mules and vodka Martinis.	It's your regular Absolut, in its own special wrapping that closely resembles a vodka shaped mirror ball. There's a little nib up the top for you to attach your string and make your own disco at home while drinking a Black Russian	This particular concoction packs a serious aniseed punch (blame the wormwood - a bitter herb and the primary ingredient in absinthe) and is best drunk straight.
